# Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security mechanism implemented in Economize to manage user permissions. It allows administrators to control and restrict access to various features and data within the platform based on assigned roles.

## Available Roles

Economize offers two primary roles: Admin, and Member
